It’s the first one where average users were affected beyond the blackout, though.

I think this makes the very big assumption that the average user uses third party apps. All of the polls on reddit, that I saw, suggested this is not true. For example. If that’s true, then the average Redditor is only being inconvenienced by the blackout and related shenanigans.

Was there a wider poll that showed non-negligible third party usage?

but all the edits made me reconsider
not worry about how many people up/down-ticked our comment.

The first was an afterthought that I wanted to include, and the score was negative by the time I added it, so I added some humor. The second was because I realized my time trying Voat was close to the hate subs that the majority of the comments here are about. Neither were (originally) about up/down, I was just trying to be polite by making the additions clear, since there’s no indicator in my UI.

The last one was a lighthearted joke. I thought the last few sentences of it, and the first few, and the middle ones, would make that clear. With an empty /m/funny and /m/jokes, and a /m/memes full of constipation, I’m beginning to suspect my humor may not be well align here.

But, I do think it’s silly that given an opinion about my experience, on a question requesting an opinion about that event, results in downvotes. I guess I don’t get the point of this place. If we’re supposed to ignore karma, and what the larger community thinks of a comment, the score (and authors!) probably shouldn’t be placed at such a predominant position with such a large size, suggesting importance or worth (I’m on kbin UI).

Well, there’s always whitespace!

your ridiculous all or nothing speculation

How is it ridiculous? It’s my 2 cent opinion, lightly founded in observation of when this happened several times in the past, with reddit and several other platforms, to a question in a forum about questions, that requires speculation about the future. Social media networks are generally all or nothing, because people flock to content, and content is generated by people, so people literally attract people until most everyone is in one spot.

There’s not a correct or incorrect answer here, just a bunch of idiots guessing. Feel free to influence the future with downvotes though. I’ll continue enjoying reading what people have to say.

What if I aim low? Like, “please include the letter c in your next commit”? Will that hit hard enough? Or should I go for a whole word? Come on, I need this!

And, they’ll all still be wrong!

I have a few ideas on how to clog my bowels. I really can’t wait to contribute!!!

I’m seeing red whistles and hearing dog flags coming from you! Am I doing it right?

Ok, now let’s ask the 99.9% of Redditors that aren’t here. You take the left 25,000,000, I’ll take the right, meet back in 5. Go!

edit: Oh man, I’m out of breath. We might need help. How about every single lemmy user helps us! That’s only about 1,300 people we each have to ask! Well, 1,299 for me. At 4 seconds each, that’s should only be about 1.5 hours. See you all soon!

Taking away popular apps to a social network that doesn’t have any yet? What?

We would have to see the user stats related to reddit app usage, to talk in an informed way about this, along with the assumption that reddit doesn’t improve their app, which will probably be forced onto spez.

edit: Here’s a quick litmus test. How many times have you gone to reddit today?

I don’t know, I was there in the beginning. I think it died because it had no real content, compared to reddit. And, all anyone talked about was reddit, or reposted stuff from reddit, just like we’re seeing here. I think this might stick a bit better because reddit is way bigger than it was back then, so even if the same super small % of users came over, it would still be quite a bit more content.

For comparison of how negligible all the Lemmy fediverse is, there are ~40k active users this month. Reddit has over 50 million active users. So, that’s around 0.1% of reddit users. Literally 99.9% of reddit are not here.

I think it’s probably doomed. It’ll never overtake reddit. But, it’ll be a nice, quiet, alternative.

edit: Here’s a quick litmus test for all the downvoters. How many times have you gone to reddit today?

edit: I was part of this attempted migration, not the hate one. This isn’t the first blackout for reddit being shitty.

I think jokes and empathy can be somewhat orthogonal. In fact, I think any stable society/org requires a court jester. But dang, the amount of dehumanization, lack of empathy, and sometimes joy, I see is really scary. There are some angry, empty, people on the internet, that I hope to never meet in real life.

Lots of reddit will find themselves unwelcome in Lemmy and by various instance admins.

Do you have some examples?

If I win, I’m going to double my keys and give them to the next person.

It would be super nice if all Reddit posts stayed on Reddit.

That’s completely unrealistic.

Did you do performance comparisons between Wayland and X11, or is your metric subjective?

What year is it!?
